I have this security camera: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Wind...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1276738607&sr=8-2
What I was going to do, is install whatever software it came with on my Windows Home Server, and then save all the video feed to a shared folder on my WHS.
It didn't come with any software, it just uses a mediocre web interface. Which means I can only save the video feed from whatever computer is viewing the web page. Which means I have to have a browser window open on my server in order to save the feed to the drive.
Thats a pretty ugly solution. I'm looking for some software I can run on the server that will detect the camera and save the live feed to the drive. I've tried Active Webcam, it doesn't work with this camera. Any other ideas?
Alternatively, I was thinking about ZoneMinder, but if I understand it correctly I would have to install a linux distro as a virtual machine on the server, which doesn't let me save files to the WHS shared folders I don't think.
